There are some non-obvious issues, like throttling, which would attach to this kind of project. Failure to consider them all might sink you. If you simply wanted to be able to send emails from you to a bunch of people on a list, I'd suggest PHPList. But if you want anyone to be able to submit those emails, I'd suggest either Majordomo (Perl) or Mailman (Python). If there's a comparable PHP solution, I'm not aware of it. Paul -- Paul M.
